Well, that's what the marketing department @ Spamhaus tells everybody
anyway.
I for one have never seen a single shread of proof to back up their
rather exhorbitant claims in this regard however.
But to return to the point at hand, no, generally Spamhaus _doesn't_
block big swaths of IP space... a fact for which I, at least, have
criticised them repeatedly. They bend over backwards to be far far
too lenient, in my opinion.
